Out on the Motorbike yesterday, quite a few car drivers just do not like you being able to pass them in heavy traffic. Moving over to the middle of the road so you can't get past.

I am amazed at how many react in this way.

Get a grip!! not my fault you have 4 wheels :)

I feel your pain Ally.

I get that on a daily basis on my commute into work. There are at least 4 cars that are known to me that do this maneuver every day, almost without fail. All large executive sized vehicles (Audi A6, merc & BMW's). They see me and then intentionally close up the gap between the vehicle next to them, just to slow or stop my progress.

The games they play....

Welcome back to the world of 2 wheels BTW :up:

I have always found the heavy chains used to secure the bike cure that problem when slapped across a windscreen :lol:

Thanks :)

Another one yesterday, filtering down through the middle, expensive type car comes up the other direction flashing lights, pressing the horn and making gestures with his hands - could of fitted a bus down the middle! :devil:

I used a gesture of my own which only required one finger :)
